Performance mode:

XSS: ~1080p
XSX: ~1440p
PS5: ~1800p

As an additional info; PS5 pushes ~110% more pixels compared to XSX in quality mode and ~55% more pixels in performance mode currently. I think this big gap should be reduced somewhat to stabilise the performance to XSX levels (edit: in performance mode, quality mode is running fine apparently.)

Quality mode is 2160P for PS5 compared to XSX' 1440P, maybe to be precised as well.

In performance mode PS5 is running at an average of 1800p in performance mode whereas Series X is at 1440p. But the framerate on the PS5 can suffer from frame rate drops in performance mode whereas Oliver said that the Series X stays at a locked 60fps. Here's an example of the PS5 fps drops:

High on Life comes to PS5 with performance and animation issues that need addressing

upto 1800p on perf mode on ps5

 

[Zuzu]

Definitely sharper on PS5 from that image. That's another one for PS5.

Why does the PS5 IQ look better? More time as it cane out later? Not my type of game so never gonna play it, just asking out of interest. Do they conclude why in the video?

Performance mode, lol. Should be renamed Vaseline mode.

The performance mode is up to 1800p on the PS5.

1440p vs 1800p according to DF.

nice that they put the work in to the port, hopefully that feeds back to the xbox versions too but i doubt it.

great fun little game.

The higher res really helps because of that shitty CA.

I'm assuming it could be the cache bandwidth being higher because of the GPU frequency and this particular game not pushing stupid effects.

Just use VRR™, amirite?

AND IN THIS CORNER....WEIGHING IN AT 1440P....

 

[YCoCg]

PS5 suffers from the animation stutter that was originally on the Xbox versions but patched out. PS5 also seems to use the same AO settings across Performance and Quality and doesn't use the higher quality one from Series X, though this may be a bug.

 

[GHG]

GOTY 2022 is now even more GOTY.

Right guys?

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm fine with the Series S version. The blurriness enhances the old B movies.

 

[Robb]

Just based of off those screens the Ps5 version seem to look nicer. Not that this game is much of a looker either way though.

 

[Nankatsu]

The real MVP strikes again.

 

[Del_X]

Framerate suffers but resolution is better. Mid-low 40s is pushing the VRR window.

Either way, I dropped it after an hour on PC game pass.

 

[cormack12]

Holy shit, last time I was quoted this much my wife was PISSED at me.

It's weird that the PS5 version brought over some of the same issues that plagued the Xbox version before it got patched.

I mean, every Skyrim version (even The Switch) had the same day 1 bugs brought over that they didn't even bother to fix in the 'Anniversary Editions'.

They must go back to some baseline when porting to other platforms and have to play catchup.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Strange port is all I'm going to say.

 

[diffusionx]

feels good to be back

 

[DeepEnigma]

They must go back to some baseline when porting to other platforms and have to play catchup.

It's probably similar to how sports games are done on a short 10 month dev cycle each year.

You go to a stripped down baseline and have to add systems/modes/assets back one by one. You don't start with the previous year's version, it's not how it works since the code is locked in gold master. You have to use a stripped down core of the game.

Which is why sports games would benefit more off a two year cycle of every other year, and the off year have a smaller new schedule patch. But, licenses and publishers would not go for that.

 

[MarkMe2525]

I liked the game, didn't love it. It deserves a wider audience as we should encourage more risk, and we should support AA development (IMO).

It seems both consoles have their wins and losses. I wonder why they chose a static 1800p if it introduced performance hickups. Maybe they can clean it up with a patch.

Edit: a few people have mentioned that the game does have DRS which makes the situation even stranger.

You can tell a lot of people didn't actually watch the video.

I usually just stick to the summaries. I will admit that Mr Testicals did a better job with them.

Should be an option to lock the PS5 at 30fps.

The resolution bump seems a bit weird to me. Seems like the two would be the same if the DRS hit the same resolution.

 

[MasterCornholio]

That option exists.

"Thankfully, the quality mode - which targets 30fps - doesn't seem to have this issue at all and maintained a locked frame-rate throughout my capture, but obviously, a higher frame-rate benefits a first-person shooter."

It will probably get patched to fix all the things they had to fix on the XSX.

Both versions will probably end up mostly identical. With a few differences like most multiplat games. As is the expected result.

 

[shamoomoo]

It's weird that the PS5 version brought over some of the same issues that plagued the Xbox version before it got patched.

That could be the result of UE4, especially if the port was done with DX wrapper in the in the PS5 API. That's just a guess.

Been a while since I played it. I do remember it being much sharper at launch on SX but it felt horrible to play. If PS5 feels the same hopefully they should drop the resolution.
